1,
November 2012

When I am searching for the Sapthasthana Shiva temples in
and around Mylapore, Chennai, it was learnt that these temple are very old may
be more than 2000 years except Kapalessarar temple. As per Gurukkal of one of
these temples the Kapaleeswarar temple is a latest one may be 500 years old,
which is reconstructed away from the original place.

On28thOctober 2012, Sunday I had
the dharshan of all the temples in the order laid down in the saptha sthanal
sthalangal dharshan. Even though it was a tedious journey by walk to cover all
the seven temples, finally it was an enjoyable one. Out of seven one set of 4
temples are close to each other on theBazaar
